would you still regard “road accidents” as unfortunate mischance or an inevitable accompaniment

75% of accidents are caused because of not following traffic rules.

You know the Gravity of the situation

There are traffic rules that say where, when and how fast you can drive. These rules help to keep traffic moving safely.

Rules of the road include traffic controls, lane controls, right of-way laws, and parking rules.

Traffic signs tell you about traffic rules, hazards, where you are, how to get where you are going, and where services are located. The shape and color of these signs give clues to the

type of information they provide.

Traffic controls include traffic signals, traffic signs and pavement markings. Traffic control also can be provided by

law enforcement, highway personnel or school crossing guards. You must obey directions from these persons.

Come to a full stop at an intersection controlled by this sign. Stop at the marked stop line or before

entering the crosswalk or before your vehicle enters the intersection. Let other vehicles or pedestrians

pass if they are in your path.
